BOOK-NOTES. 



— ' American Fishes,' a popular treatise 

 upon the game and food fishes of North 

 America with especial reference to habits 

 and methods of capture, by G. Brown Goode, 

 will be ready March i. The reputation of 

 Professor G. Brown Goode, United States 

 commissioner of fish and fisheries, is a 

 guaranty that the subject has been treated 

 in a masterly manner, and with a close at- 

 tention to detail, which will make this book 

 the invaluable companion of every lover of 

 fishing in all sections of our country. 



— The name of Mark Hopkins has for 

 many years been famous in America for pro- 

 found scholarship and practical wisdom. Its 

 honored bearer, the president of Williams 

 College, has passed away : and now his son, 

 Mark Hopkins, jun., brings the name once 

 more into favorable public attention as the 

 author of a brilliant new novel. It is a story 

 of American life in Paris and Nice, with 

 picturesque Russian and French accessories, 

 and evinces a wonderful story-telling faculty 

 and cosmopolitan spirit. It appears in Feb- 

 ruary from the press of Ticknor & Company. 



— The genuine 'Memoirs of Garibaldi,' 

 written by himself, and extending to 1874, 

 were to be published by Barbara last month. 



— Charles F. Heebner, 5 Gold Street, 

 New York, has prepared and published a 

 manual of pharmacy and pharmaceutical 

 chemistry. 



— Another of Prof. N. S. Shaler's articles 

 on the surface of the earth appears in 

 Scribner's Magazine for February under the 

 title of ' Volcanoes.' Among the illustrations 

 are a number of very picturesque views 

 of the great eruption in the Sandwich Islands, 

 which have never before been engraved. 



— Novello, Ewer, & Co., New York, an- 

 nounce that they will issue in the spring, pro- 

 vided the number of subscriptions justify the 

 venture, a review of the New York music 

 season of 1887-88, by Mr. H. E. Krehbiel. 



— Henry Carey Baird has issued this year 

 in pamphlet form another series of brief 

 tracts on some economic questions, which 

 were printed in various journals from 1885 

 to the present ; also an argument of Henry 

 Carey Baird, chairman of a committee ap- 

 pointed by a public meeting in Philadelphia, 

 before the Committee on Ways and Means, 

 March 9, 1876, in opposition to the issue of 

 $500,000,000 30-year 4+ per cent gold bonds 

 for the refunding of an equal amount of 5-20 

 bonds; and ' Two Roads, — the One lead- 

 ing to Civilization, Prosperity, and Happi- 

 ness; the other, to .Barbarism, Rebellion, 

 and Societary Anarchy,' being an open let- 

 ter to the President of the United States and 

 Mr. ex-Speaker Carlisle. 



— Messrs. T. Y. Crowell & Co. announce 

 two new books by Tolstoi'. The first contains 

 a number of his fascinating short stories for 

 children, rendered from the original by 

 Nathan Haskell Dole. Crisp, quaint, and 

 artistic, dramatic and tender, often with a 

 quiet touch of humor, always with a moral, 

 not preached nor obtrusive, but which ap- 



peals to the simplest understanding, these 

 fables and stories show Count Tolstoi in a 

 new and surprising light. The second is 

 Count Tolstoi's latest work, ' Napoleon and 

 the Russian Campaign,' and will appeal es- 

 pecially to all who are interested in historical 

 literature. 



— Mr. George Kennan, the Siberian travel- 

 ler and writer, has been black-listed by the 

 Russian Government, and will not be per- 

 mitted to re-enter the Czar's dominions. " I 

 expected, of course," says Mr. Kennan, " to 

 be put on the Russian black-list. I am only 

 thankful that I succeeded in crossing the 

 frontier with all of my material and papers 

 coming this way. The outside of the Rus- 

 sian frontier line is a good enough side 

 for me at present. I became satisfied before 

 I got half through Siberia that I should never 

 be permitted to go there again, and that after 

 the publication of my papers no other for- 

 eigner would be allowed to make investiga- 

 tions there, and I lost no possible opportunity 

 to secure accuracy and thoroughness. I 

 brought back more than fifty pounds of notes, 

 papers, and original documents, many of the 

 latter from secret government archives, be- 

 sides five hundred or six hundred foolscap 

 pages of manuscript prepared for me by po- 

 Utical exiles in all parts of Siberia, and cover- 

 ing the most noteworthy episodes in their 

 lives. I visited every convict-mine in Siberia, 

 and every convict-prison except one, and I 

 believe I know the exile system better than 

 most officers of the exile administration, and 

 far better than any outsider. I can regard 

 the black-listing, therefore, with a certain 

 degree of complacency. The stable-door is 

 locked, but the horse has been stolen — and 

 I've got him." — A^. Y. Tribune.
